SWS - Forms in the Maintenance Menu - Schedule Window Codes

Schedule Window Codes allow you to create and apply simple deviations to OWS Schedule Windows. For example, let's say that a retail store opens at 9am and closes at 6pm. The posted business hours usually apply only to Customers who might visit the store to do business. The hours do not usually apply to an employee who has to prepare the bank deposit before the store opens at 9am, or to the janitorial staff who clean the store after the 6pm closing. In order to avoid premises entries like these triggering unintended alarms, a Supervisor can create Schedule Window Codes to approve such variances.
